This is the space reserved to write the info/vbr tag. This tag should be written after encoding is finished. The problem might be that the front-end that you are using to encode doesn't properly call the needed function to complete this tag after encoding. > So I set about looking for a switch to perhaps discontinue this feature > (assuming it is a feature) but had no luck. -t > Only when it sees a bunch of zeros at the > start of the file does it get rude and display "Not MP3". Might be an indication that your player is broken. Compliant mp3 players should skip unrecognized data.
